This kind of reporting is becoming monotonous and lazy There is no hard and fast rule that says a 'benefit cheat' is going to jail anymore than there is a rule saying anyone found guilty of most crime will be going to jail. Its like saying; 'A car thief has avoided jail for stealing a car' 'A man with no car insurance has avoided jail for having no etc' ' A shop lifter has avoided jail for etc' It is slumped in the chair journalism.

and what about all the scrounging MP's get up to via expenses perks etc. this is just a drop in the ocean compared to the amount MP's get away with not paying back.

“Benefit fraud is a drop in the ocean compared to expenses fiddled by MPs”. Do you actually believe this ridiculous statement?

I Very strongly feel my MP is on the fiddle, as she VERY rarely does any work full-stop. Three months to answer a simple yes or no question, and STILL waiting for it.

They can order what they like, if she hasn't go the money and may still depend on benefits, no hope! they should be sent to prison and made to work 'inside' until they have earned enough to pay back what they nicked and pay for their keep in prion / hotels where they get better looked after than our frail elderly folk! Time prisoners did work fro pay whilst in prison to compensate their victims and no release until that is done!i

I know its not right but I can understand why people do it. The press keeps peddling the lie that the economy is recovering however more people are in debt than ever & i suppose when you see undeserving people get away with it at both local & national level & the sheer waste of taxpayer money by the government on their pet projects the temptation is there.

“Benefit fraud is a drop in the ocean compared to expenses fiddled by MPs”. Do you actually believe this ridiculous statement?

you may have a point there, but it most certainly is a 'drop in the ocean' when compared to the tax dodging, and so called 'misselling (aka fraud) of the super rich and financial institutions....... and lets face it, a bit of benefits cheating goes straight back to exchequet anyway, by way of tax on booze, fags and lotto.......
